French Toast Batter
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Milk
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Ginger
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 Loaf Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread
- ¼ cup Butter
Suggested Toppings
- Maple Syrup
- Mandolin-sliced Apples
- Pecans
- Cinnamon Granola
- Prepare the batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until well combined to create a fragrant, spiced custard base for the French toast.
- Heat the skillet: Warm a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the cooking surface, ready for the bread slices.
- Dip the bread slices: Working one at a time, dip each slice of Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread into the egg batter, coating both sides evenly to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, flipping midway to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
- Assemble and serve: Arrange the cooked French toast on serving plates and top with mandolin-sliced apples, pecans, and cinnamon granola as desired. Finish with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Use fresh bread as day-old bread may absorb too much batter and become soggy.
- Adjust cooking heat to prevent burning the French toast while ensuring it cooks through.
- Optional toppings can be customized to your preference such as adding whipped cream or fresh berries.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk or any plant-based milk in the batter.
- Be cautious with cinnamon granola topping if serving to those with nut allergies.
